and if this continues, mack is gone. i would love to see y'all matched up against them in a bowl game this year and y'all kick their ass. that would be great. and if tdhey don't dump him after that, he'd better win a lot the next year.

quote:There have been four ways coaches have left their teams over this time period: firing, voluntarily quitting, retiring and leaving under a cloud of sanctions. 14 programs have won titles over the last 20 years. Of those programs, only Texas, Oklahoma and Auburn have not had at least one coaching change, though a firing at Auburn seems to be a foregone conclusion at this point.

quote:LSU (2003, 2007) - The Tigers have but a single 1-loss season since Les Miles arrived in 2005 though they do have a 2-loss national championship and a pair of SEC titles. We'll call Miles to LSU the gold standard of replacing a departing legend.

And I disagree with the final thought:

quote:At 8-2 this year and a lineup built for a big year in 2013, we hope Mack gets one more shot at a title next year before riding off into the burnt orange sunset

quote:He's still young (for a coach), younger than Nick Saban

But looks about twenty years older

Mack's been a HC for a lot longer than Saban. He was HC at Tulane for 3 years, then 10 years at UNC before going to Texas., I think he's been at Texas alone basically the same length of time Saban has been at MSU, LSU and Bama.

Texas A&M is a program on the rise. The piggies can think they are on the same level but they are not. Sumlin would not go to Texas, all this more prestigious stuff is not looking at it the right way. Yes, Texas is a "better" job, but not so much so that someone that's building at A&M is leaving for that. I don't know if it's his dream job, but when he was at UH, Sumlin talked about A&M more than any other school. If he is rolling at A&M he's not going to get lured away to OU either.

Aren't you guys getting a little carried away here? How successful would Sumlin be this year without Maziel?

No offense but you need to sustain a level of success over more than 9 games.

There are an awful lot of programs ahead of aTm in the best jobs category. You guys aren't in the top 15!

I think Texas A&M could easily fall in with the Oregons, Florida States, and Okie States of the world after that. The biggest play for them is that they are the only Texas school in the SEC, which puts them in the drivers seat for a lot of recruits that they couldn't get before.
